Your customers expect design tools to be easy and intuitive. Yet many online storefronts that offer customizable print products still rely on outdated, complex editors and manual processes that frustrate customers and push them to seek better options. In the competitive online print market, that’s a cost you can’t afford.
Design Huddle offers a better way. Our easy-to-integrate web-to-print design editor makes it easy for your customers to personalize products, helping you enhance the design experience and drive customer loyalty.
Design Huddle's web-to-print software allows you to streamline the print design process by creating user-friendly design templates for any product you offer: standard and large format, packaging, signage, stickers, apparel, or any other unique product. You can create a custom print canvas for any product size or shape, ideal for designing products like stickers and car wraps. Alternatively, you can use an image of the product as the background in the editor and overlay your design.
Design Huddle’s PDF import tool makes it easy to upload designs you’ve created or sourced and ensures all the nuanced design elements are maintained like color correctness (CMYK), masked images, font styles, and vectors.
Once you’ve uploaded your designs as templates, you can further simplify your user’s product personalization experience by locking element attributes that shouldn’t be edited (e.g. font style or size, image position, etc.) and providing clear ways to customize items like text, color options, and images.
Design Huddle also gives you options to create the best possible editing experience for your users and the product you're selling. In addition to offering a WYSIWYG editor, you can use the Design Huddle SDK to create a unique form-based editing experience – both options support instant product mockups.
For example, if you’re selling a mug or shirt, you may have pre-defined options for customization — text can be Mom, Grandma, Aunt, Sister, or Daughter and color can be Mauve, Ivory, or Taupe. In this case, providing customization options in a form may be easier than asking the customer to type in the text or pick from a color wheel.
All together, the combination of templates, intuitive editing, and instant product mockups create a design experience that’s fast, easy, and that customers will return to.
"Design Huddle offers an extremely intuitive interface that makes it easy for our customers to customize products. Furthermore, setting up new products for customization is a breeze." -Richard Tom, CTO
Design Huddle’s robust, API-first platform is flexible and customizable, helping you create the design experience you need to best serve your customers:
👉 Embed the design editor with any site or platform, brand it as your own, and deliver a seamless user experience on desktop and mobile.
👉 Provide customers with pre-made templates for any product type – even uncommon custom shapes for stickers.
👉 Enable customers to overlay their design on any product background image (sweatshirt, t-shirt, mug, and more) for an accurate, instant mockup.
👉 Use the WYSIWYG editor or create a form-based experience – whichever process is best for your specific product type and buyers.
👉 Integrate the design editor with any shopping cart workflow, such as Magento, Shopify, or WooCommerce.
Few design editors are optimized to produce print-ready files for variable data printing use cases like direct mail. Design Huddle is. Our smart template functionality uses variable placeholders to make it easy to auto-populate recipient-specific data like text and images on print runs. Our Variable Data Printing solution is optimized to export millions of individual mail pieces in minutes.
You can also use Design Huddle to automate design customization, giving your customers the ability to preview personalized designs for multiple products, in real-time. For example, a customer can upload their logo and instantly preview how it looks on products with different sizes and orientations – think company swag kits with water bottles, hoodies, notebooks, and stickers.
Design Huddle’s latest AI features reduce manual processes, minimize errors, and ensure a high-quality output. 
Image Upscaling, for example, is a game changer for web to print. When a customer's image resolution is too low for the design specs, the Image Upscaling feature automatically prompts them to upscale it with one click, directly in the editor. This eliminates the back-and-forth to resolve resolution issues and ensures high-quality prints.
Using Design Huddle, online storefronts and commercial printers are able to create a simplified product personalization and streamlined print design experience that differentiates their services.
Our customers report that their investment in Design Huddle quickly pays for itself, as a better, faster design experience drives customer engagement, return business, and increased sales.
One customer who uses Design Huddle to provide product customization, shared: “Design Huddle has been seamlessly integrated into our website and allows our customers an elevated design experience. We were able to integrate the program for a low cost, and updating our templates is now a straightforward process."
